Book Review #15

Dan is a 16-year-old boy who has step foot into the world of hacking. He wasn't the most popular kid in school but that changed when a popular girl named Soraya, started to like him. After a couple of weeks, Soraya and Dan start going out and after a few weeks being a couple, things start to change. Soraya started taking advantage of Dan's hacking talent. She kept asking Dan to transfer more and more data onto her phone and when he did, Soraya asked Dan to give her friend some free data. Dan refused and tried his best to explain to Soraya that what he was doing was illegal but Soraya couldn't care less. In the end, Dan gave up and transferred some data onto Soraya's friend's phone but Soraya still wasn't happy. She wanted everybody in her friend group to have free data transferred onto their phone's but by now, Dan had had enough. Dan and Soraya soon broke up because Dan didn't want to do too much illegal stuff. That wasn't the only break up that Dan went through. Apart from breaking up with Soraya, Dan and his best friend Ty also broke up. Ty broke up with dan because he didn't like how Dan was getting sucked into the world of hacking and requested him to stop. Dan didn't listen to what Ty had to say which caused an argument between the two of them. Ty told Dan that he didn't want to be friends with someone who did illegal things and Dan told him that he didn't want to be friends with someone to didn't appreciate his talent. And in an instant, their friendship was over. A few days after Ty and Dan broke up, Ty had an accident and was in hospital, with severe head injuries. Dan was confused as to whether he should go and visit his ex-best friend or not. He really wants to visit Ty but then remembers that Ty didn't appreciate his talent of hacking. Dan wants to go and doesn't want to go at the same time. He doesn't know what to do.

My Questions So Far:

Will Ty survive or die?

Will Dan end up going to visit him or not?

I rate this book a 6/10

I like how this book keeps you in suspense and constantly makes you ask yourself questions.

I disliked how Dan knew what he was doing was wrong, but decided to keep doing it.
